Death Penalty Information- July 2014

Written on: July 22, 2014

Please pray for an end to the death penalty, for those  executed in July, for the victims of these crimes and all whose lives have been affected.

July 10:       Eddie Davis, Florida 

July 16:       John Middleton, Missouri

 July 23:      Joseph Wood, Arizona- stayed pending further court action

August 4:   William Montgomery, Ohio- cancelled until after August 15.

The process of lethal injections and whether inmates unduly suffer has come into focus several times this year.

An Ohio inmate in January snorted and gasped during the 26 minutes it took him to die. And an Oklahoma execution was botched in April as prison officials halted the process after noticing the drugs weren’t being administered properly. The inmate died of a heart attack several minutes later.
